Saratoga Mine

Many years ago I scratchbuilt a model of Malcolm Furlow's Saratoga Mine from plans in the Gazette.  Its original location on a diorama was in a corner, however the corner it's in now is a mirror opposite so I've had to make some changes.  There was a set of matching buildings, none of which fits the new location.  Oh well...
New support wall installed to raise the mine up.
Access platforms added
Rock fence to shield roof
Fence is angled forwards to catch rock fall.
Home for the mine
Trying for size
Rock fence fitting
Tailings platform and trestle
Trestle halved!
Chute and wall added, tailings pile started
